Product Overview
Nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate from the Puratronic™ line delivers exceptional purity at 99.9995% (metals basis), making it a critical reagent for applications where trace metal contamination must be minimized. This high-grade crystalline compound is synthesized under stringent conditions to ensure consistent performance in sensitive analytical procedures and advanced materials research. The hexahydrate form provides excellent solubility in water and polar solvents, facilitating precise stoichiometric control in synthesis reactions. Its low impurity profile—particularly for alkali, alkaline earth, and heavy metals—ensures reliable results in electrochemical applications, including nickel plating and battery research. The material is packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation, preserving its stability during storage. Whether used as a catalyst precursor, in coordination chemistry, or for preparing standard solutions, this Puratronic™ grade nickel chloride meets the exacting demands of modern laboratories where reproducibility and accuracy are paramount.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard-grade nickel chloride?
Puratronic™ nickel chloride undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.9995% metals basis purity, reducing trace contaminants like iron, copper, and zinc that may interfere with sensitive applications. Standard grades typically contain higher levels of these impurities.
2. Can this product be used for preparing nickel plating baths?
Yes, the high purity and consistent composition make it suitable for electroplating bath formulations where impurity control is critical for deposit quality and adhesion.
3. How should this compound be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under dry, inert conditions (e.g., desiccator or nitrogen atmosphere) at room temperature. Avoid exposure to moisture or oxidizing agents to prevent degradation.
4. Is this nickel chloride compatible with glassware and standard lab equipment?
The compound is compatible with borosilicate glass and most common lab materials like PTFE or polypropylene. Avoid prolonged contact with metals that may react with chloride ions.
5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring lower purity levels?
For less demanding applications, reagent-grade nickel chloride (98-99% purity) or technical-grade options are available, though they may contain higher levels of metallic and anionic impurities.
